They beat duke twice and to anyone who matters voting wise that is all that mattered.
Who cares?
I don’t think they match up very well with us. Let’s take care of business and get sweet revenge for 2017.

Without zion! Lost to UK
But that doesn't matter to voters. In their mind UNC is the only team to beat Duke 2 times and lost by 2 the 3rd time. That is all that was needed.
Those 2 wins against Dook were huge. They just didn't count against Dook is all.
By the looks of it, we wouldve only gotten a #1 seed in the midwest if we had won the SECT. I like how they did us this year. If we can't beat Wofford/Seton Hall, or Houston to get to the regional finals, then we dont deserve to be there.
We can beat UNC again.Just gotta play a really good game again against them. But yes, we do matchup very well with them. The only other team we matched up better with as a 1 seed was the Zags.

After finishing with same record and beating them head to head. Thank barney
UNC had a bad loss to tournament non-qualifier Texas and also lost a home game to Louisville by 20. Of course, we beat them and we match up well with them in a rematch. We have the best draw of any two-seed IMO.
Doesn't matter.
We'll have to beat Houston while they have to take down Kansas/Auburn winner.
I'd say we won what really matters in this one.

Do you mean overall #2 team in the Tourney? If so, then yes, we probably would have been overall #2 and taken UVa's spot as #1 seed in the South.
If you meant #2 seed in a region, absolutely not. We were ranked #4, had the most quad 1 wins, and would've added two more if we beat UT and UA.
So you'd rather face the Auburn/Kansas winner than Houston?
Not sure I agree with you on this one.

We do match up well with them and it's going to come down to how Hagans plays. Do we get the "bad" Hagans who equals Dirk Minnifield in his first couple of years or will it be the "good" Hagans like Marquis Teague? Let's hope we make it that far first. We have a favorable draw but did last year as well. Can't take anything for granted.
I think you definitely would've been a 1 seed had you won the SEC regular season or tournament. Same argument could be made for Tenn.
Selection committee always operates with recency bias. They don't apologize for it -- and I don't know that I'd criticize it given the tournament should be about who is the hot team at tourney time.
UNC -- before having to play Zion-led Duke -- was maybe playing better than anyone in the country for the last 3 weeks.
I think the committee -- rightfully so -- WAY favors what you do late over losses in December.

this thread is not about our region, I agree it's not bad, but how do they sit in a room and justify UNC being 4 spots ahead of UK overall. It's baffling. And it lends itself heavily towards accusations of bias.
Did y say we should be a 1 seed? No I’m saying we shouldn’t be the two seed in that bracket. MSU should be he 1 there UNC the 2, UT in the west Michigan in the east and uk south.
We were the #7 team in the Tourney and therefore did not get sites close to home.
How were we playing before Reid got hurt? And who was UNC beating when they were so "hot", I recall them losing pretty handily at home to UVA.
At BEST we have virtually identical resumes, and what could we possibly use for a tiebreaker? A neutral court game where one team won easily? Of course not, why use that.
The selection committee doesn't always do anything, they are more fickle than school girls
I'll be there for the night session on Thursday by chance. When I bought tix I really thought there was little to no chance UK ended up there
But, the inconsistency. Duke gets special consideration for Zion's injury. Otherwise, wouldn't they be seeded lower? Based on actual games, how does Duke get the number 1 seed when they finished lower in the ACC?
